I Wish I Was Weston

Here is my Art History project. I chose to impersonate the photos of Edward Weston, one of the great photographers of this country. He was one of the guys out West with Ansel Adams shooting landscapes. A portion of his body of work was nudes. I had a friend Nichole model for these shots. After the shoots, the exposures were converted to grayscale, tweaked (levels, contrast/brightness, and curves) and then altered (burning/dodging, tattoo removal, taking away some distracting background elements) until I was satisfied. I will post the three originals first and then my impressions.
